Scope

In the past years, the automation industry was able to realize development opportunities and to achieve major growth, both in the national and the international arena.
The implementation of safety-related automation applications including programmable systems is a standard in most application areas. This includes programmable controllers, field devices, bus systems and their configuration and programming by the user. The functional safety of these devices in operation has to be guaranteed for the protection and safety of persons, environment and systems.
International standards, as for example the IEC 61508, IEC 62061, IEC 61511, IEC 61131 und EN 954/ ISO 13849 describe requirements, which have to be fulfilled during development and use of systems. The safety management of the complete life cycle of complex applications and devices is gaining more and more importance.

The Symposium will present the state-of-the-art of safety-related applications. The accompanying exhibition will show newest developments and trends. Detailed information will be imparted in workshops concerning special topics.

Target Groups Manufacturers and designers of safety-related systems; integrators of safety relevant installations; operating companies; testers, experts; approval authorities.
Conference Language English and German (simultaneous translation).
